E-MailThe Great Methodologies Debate: Part 1: Opening Statement
In the early 1980s, I participated in one round of methodology debate. Structured analysis and design champions such as Tom DeMarco, Ed Yourdon, and Tim Lister were on one side of the debate, while data-driven design aficionados like Ken Orr, Jean-Dominique Warnier, Michael Jackson (not the singer), and myself were on the other. It was debate, but a collegial one. Although we argued, we did so out of mutual respect and the desire to further the cause of software development. Tom, Ed, Tim, Ken, and I now serve together on the Cutter Business Technology Council -- still debating.
